Israeli Mossad is already a strong suspect in the recent killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in the United Arab Emirates. The charter member of the al-Qassam Brigades was electrocuted and strangled in his Dubai hotel room, and God knows what happened to him in between.
Al-Mabhouh's murder evokes a certain sense of deja vu. Anyone who has read the brilliant work "Kill Khalid: The Failed Mossad Assassination of Khalid Mishal and the Rise of Hamas" would know exactly what I'm talking about.
It chronicles how a Mossad hit team posing as Canadian tourists set out on the streets of Amman, Jordan in 1997 to eliminate the Hamas political leader.
